Being in front of a camera can probably feel awkward or overwhelming, but Jacqui makes it feel like you’re just spending time with a friend. She develops quick & easy rapport, genuine humor, and of course, gorgeous images that we will cherish forever.

My entire family was happy with the gorgeous albums as they had the more traditional portraits our parents desired but included some more artistic and stolen moments that I cherish more than you know.

Cat Blakely

The pictures you took ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! I honestly can’t believe how many wonderful pictures there are in this album. It was such a cool experience reviewing them and reliving the day together.
